"Van Wilder: Party Liaison" (2002) is a comedy film that stars Ryan Reynolds in the title role. The movie follows Van Wilder, a seventh-year senior at Coolidge College who has made a name for himself as the ultimate party host. When his father cuts off his tuition funds, Van is forced to find new ways to support his extravagant lifestyle. Meanwhile, a campus journalist, Gwen Pearson (played by Tara Reid), is tasked with writing a story about Van, leading to romantic developments and comedic situations. The film became a cult classic due to its humorous take on college life, wild parties, and outrageous characters. It was loosely inspired by the real-life experiences of comedian Bert Kreischer, though it is a highly fictionalized account. The movie was followed by several spin-offs, including "Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj" (2006) and "Van Wilder: Freshman Year" (2009).
